Automate rules time or trigger controlled

Everything that I can do manually, I would like to be able to either automate or execute time-controlled.
So a kind of “Execute rule” macro that is executed trigger and/or time-controlled.

Reasons:
I have e-mail folders that are filled from other sources.
I can now run rules manually on these folders without any problems, but I always have to select everything manually (which rules, which folder).
Very time consuming…
